In the Society of Fascists: Acclamation, Acquiescence, and Agency in Mussolini’s Italy (Italian and Italian American Studies)
This work seeks to take a fresh look at the contentious question of the longevity and popularity of Mussolini's regime in Italy. In particular, it draws upon new research to challenge what has been the most influential paradigm over the last couple of decades, namely, the interpretation of Italian fascism as a consensual dictatorship.
